#140 - Control System

"Once an enemy is detected approaching or being attacked by a spell, the attacked group completely switches to a defensive posture, communicates their position to other groups, and coordinates an ambush. If the enemy fails in their initial attack and wants to quickly resolve the battle, they are likely to use a sonic wave interference charm. At the time, I only had two charms on me, so assuming I used items to defeat two of the teams, 'Anduin,' having lost his area-of-effect attack items, would have little chance against the three enemy teams with restored vision."

"The next step is to continuously focus fire, using movement and interference spells to constantly compress the enemy's space. If the enemy rashly uses an extraordinary-level obstacle curse or a powerful spell, even if they can take down one team, they will expose a huge flaw. In the end, either the enemy will be defeated, or they will exhaust their magic power and lose their combat effectiveness. Of course, this is assuming 'Anduin' doesn't use his speed advantage to escape."

"If Yaxley and the others have sufficient preparation and tacit cooperation, coupled with reasonable tactics, my chances of winning this battle are not high."

After a series of reviews, Anduin couldn't help but sigh: "Indeed, I am still too weak, and too reckless. I still chose to start the battle without a 100% chance of winning. I must learn from this lesson in time. The all-terrain armed tactical model also needs to be improved."

"First of all, the phase boots need to be equipped with anti-slip and anti-stick effects. Although the defensive charms were not used this time, one is definitely not enough if I am focused on. The sonic wave charms also need to be replenished, and other series of interference charms need to be developed. The next focus is on this area. The development of temperature and energy storage charms is also close to the experimental stage. Fortunately, I made a fortune from those pure-bloods this time, otherwise he simply couldn't afford the cost of materials and experimental losses."

"However, the gains from this battle are also considerable. The 'Flock of Birds' spell has a very strong practical effect, and the practice and research of control-based spells cannot be neglected."

When practicing and researching spells, Anduin did not classify them according to the current mainstream method of ordinary spells, dark curses, poison curses, and curses.

Instead, based on his deep understanding of charms, he classified them according to the differences in base runes into seven major categories: Control, Elemental, Transformation, Mental, Soul, Bloodline, and Prophecy. Originally, he planned to add the Space-Time category, but after understanding, he found that the base rune of Space-Time magic was actually also 'Control,' so he classified it into the Control category.

This classification is actually not accurate. According to his classification method, many spells are composed of several series of runes. However, in the eyes of this charm scholar, classifying spells in this way is more conducive to research.

The 'Flock of Birds' spell that Anduin used in the previous battle was a special technique he developed when studying control-based spells, and it is very different from the ordinary 'Flock of Birds.' Because Anduin has practiced control-based spells such as the Levitation Charm and the Obstacle Charm for many years, he has a high affinity and proficiency with control-based runes, so he focuses on studying this type of spell.

Like his 'Flock of Birds' spell, the ravens summoned are not only individually stronger, but also have a strong connection with Anduin. Coupled with his superb control, he can allow these ravens to perform some difficult tasks, including attacking, defending, picking up items, transmitting information, etc. He is even trying to develop a long-range monitoring function, but 'vision sharing' is a very profound magical knowledge, and the operating radius of the summoned ravens is currently less than one kilometer. However, in this battle, the performance of this spell has completely exceeded expectations, and this one 'Flock of Birds' can almost resist dozens of dark curses.

At the same time, the vision interference of the Elemental series' Cloud of Mist Charm, and the cooperation of the Water-Making Spell plus the Freezing Charm, also played a good role in this practice. Elemental spells have been arranged by Anduin into the second echelon of training.

In this way, Anduin felt that his time was not enough at all. The research and optimization of charms, the production and upgrading of equipment, and the development of skills and practice of existing spells all occupied all of his time.

Time passed quickly. Anduin spent the entire Christmas vacation locked in the cottage, and his daily pastime was cooking and chatting with Hagrid.

On the first day of the second semester, Anduin also returned to the Slytherin common room, and Rozier came to him at this time.

"So, your little brothers are ready to accept reality?" Anduin said with a smile, looking at Rozier who was carrying large and small bags into his dormitory.

"They are not fools. Problems that can be solved with money don't need to be brought to a point of mutual destruction. I have done everything you asked me to do one by one. This is the list. I have marked those who are unrepentant," Rozier handed Anduin a piece of parchment, and it could be seen that Rozier was in a good mood recently.

"Okay." Anduin took the parchment and glanced at it roughly. "Travers is still so unrepentant. By the way, have those potions mixed with the Madness Potion been destroyed?"

"I only put some in Yaxley's share. After he drank the potion, he threw away the bottle. I have already recovered it that day, so don't worry," Rozier didn't dare to openly add ingredients to all the potions, as that would be too easy to expose.

Anduin nodded, it seemed that Rozier was still measured in his actions, maybe he could cultivate this guy more in the future.

After dealing with these loose ends, Anduin began to check his gains. These little wizards were quite honest. After inspection, he collected 200 gold Galleons and 6 magic books for this month's protection fee. These books were all rare materials that he had never seen before, which made him very happy.

"Huh? One share is missing." Anduin counted, there were only 16 shares. There were 18 people involved in the attack that day, and subtracting Rozier, there should be 17 people.

"This." Rozier hesitated slightly after Anduin asked, and replied, "Yaxley, he ran away."

"Ran away?" Anduin raised his eyebrows, seemingly not surprised.

"I don't know. That guy has disappeared since he left that day. He hasn't contacted anyone. I guess he fled because he was afraid of the crime. After all, daring to use the Unforgivable Curse is not a minor crime. Now the Aurors outside are chasing Death Eaters all over the world," Rozier said.

"Heh, he doesn't even want his wand anymore? That's decisive. Fortunately, I left a trick in advance. Pay attention to whether Travers is in contact with him. That guy won't give up." Although Yaxley's escape was also within his expectations, he still cautiously instructed.
